Transfer your points to the right travel partner šŸ’³āœØ

If you ask me ā€œhow do I use my credit card points?!ā€ - I’ll say something like:

Transfer your points to travel partners and check for transfer bonuses! For example, Qantas Frequent Flyer has a 20% transfer bonus on Capital One portal at the moment

The key to maximizing point value is knowing which airline partner to transfer to before you move anything!!

Using a tool like can show you the best award flights available and the steps to book with points

Comment POINTS for the tool and get a $5 month. Planning a trip? DM me TWB and we can get started!

Anyone else think this way?!

The things I enjoy most like experiences with the people I love, food, travel, etc….they come at a real cost. I’ve had to sacrifice my emotional, mental, and physical bandwidth to put in the work and reap the benefits of whatever opportunities are in front of me.

For me right now, that means a 9-5 corporate job alongside building a travel business. Building out of passion with the hope of helping people soak up more out of life!

And I’m sure there’s some of you that are putting in the work to achieve your own goals and dreams. I get it and I genuinely believe it pays off. We got this šŸ’›

If your US passport is about to expire… I get it šŸ˜…

I found out my passport didn’t meet the common 6 month validity rule with less than two weeks until my departure date. So here’s exactly what I did to renew my US passportšŸ‘‡šŸ½

1ļøāƒ£ Go online and make an appointment at your nearest US passport agency (travel.state.gov website)

2ļøāƒ£ Bring your current passport, photo, printed renewal application, and proof of travel within 14 days of departure. You can get photos taken and/or printed at CVS.

3ļøāƒ£ Show up, go through paperwork, pay the fees (my appointment took about 45 minutes from parking to walking out)

4ļøāƒ£ Pick your new passport in person or pay ~$20 fee to get it shipped (I decided to pick up to be extra safe on time) & you also get to keep your old one

The 6 month rule catches so many people off guard so check your passport expiration date RIGHT NOW before your next trip.

Save this if you ever need to expedite for renewal and send it to a friend who you KNOW hasn’t checked their passport lately šŸ‘€

We saw SO many dolphins on this tour! Truly my favorite animal ever 🄹🐬

You gotta add this to your Destin trip! Comment ā€œdolphinsā€ and I’ll send you the Viator link to book this exact tour.

Quick tip from our guide: go in the mornings because these dolphins feed in the shallow areas in the early hours and move further out into the Gulf by evening.

The tour is with and we enjoyed our experience, they knew where to take us, how to spot them, but also respect their natural habitat.

Other water things worth doing while you’re there: sunset cruises, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, jet skis, and a day at Crab Island sandbar. Spend as much time in the water!

Share this with the friend you want to go to the beach with this summer 🌊

The grid isn’t always so glamorous!

Here’s an unfiltered 16-hr behind the scenes of what my days are looking like…

working out > to 9-5 work > to more work for travel with barbs > all the little joys in between

BUT even when the long days feel never ending, it feels all worth it when I get off a call with someone sharing ā€œthank you, you’ve made this trip so easy to plan!!ā€

That makes my heart is full šŸ„¹šŸ’›

One of the cutest bakeries in Katy Asian Town 🄐

Paris Baguette started in Seoul, Korea as their version of a French bakery with a Korean twist. They now have 4,000+ stores worldwide, and one of them is right here in Katy!! But maybe you find one near you!

Come with a savory or sweet tooth because they will have something for you! Truly have to love the Houston food scene and diversity.
